Agreed.
This reminds me of a quote that I read awhile back: Money may not actually buy happiness but it feels better to cry inside a Mercades than on a park bench.
The point of having a lot of money for me would to be able to escape all of the pain that I feel through immersing myself in things that I'm passionate about, such as video games and technology without having to work a regular job that I would be miserable at and having to worry about losing the job because my boss doesn't like me or something that I did and becoming homeless.
For this reason, I am so certain that having a lot of money would improve my quality of life exponentially that I bet my life on it. I know that money might not make me completely happy, but I don't think that it is possible nor realistic for me to be completely happy after what I've been through in my life.
